anchor=C-c DEL problem I have a problem with
the C-c
C-x commands giving me C-c DEL and then freezing up. What should I do?
This is a problem that I have seen with student using Emacs on Mac
machines in CLIC.
ANSWER: A few students have reported having trouble with it
elsewhere, but the major of the students have reported either no trouble
or only occasional trouble with it. I have been able to switch those
students with trouble over to the editor called anchor=Pico. It uses the same look and feel as Pine. Just
follow the
commands at the bottom of the screen. Regardless of which editor you use
to create the file, once created, any editor can edit it.
Does Pico use the same commands? It
depends on what you are referring to. When you are editing text it works
about the same as Emacs as far as getting around the screen and typing in
text. Saving (WriteOut) and Exit are a little different, but again Pico has the major commands at the bottom of the screen.
How do I get files from my Uhunix acount to my www
acount? First, from your Uhunix account, telnet over to your www
account. Then, enterthe command, ftp, then enter the command, open, and
you should see (to). At the (to) prompt enter: uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu
at the prompt type in: user and enter. Go through the id/password
procedure for your Uhunix account. When you get back to a regular ftp
prompt, type in: recv bogan.html or whatever your file name is. Do a
dir or ls -1 to see your files and make sure it is there.
anchor=Faulty Text Allignment It seems
that some students are having trouble switching from Emacs to Pico.
A few have alignment problems when the word wrap from Emacs has created a
carriage return at the end of a line. When Pico opens up the document,
it sees the carriage return and breaks to the next line. So a line of
text looks
like this with a break in it. Solution? Place your cursor at the
beginning of the line, in this case, the 'l' of like, and use the
backspace (IBM) or delete (Mac) to wipe out the carriage return. But the
next line ends with a truncated word and a dollar sign, you say? Well,
it happens sometimes. This indicates that the word extends outside of
of the boundries of the document. To fix this, just do the same
procedure:
Go to the first letter of the word with the dollar sign in it. Execute a
carriage return (that's an 'enter' for the non-typewriter types) and it
will bring that truncated word, intact, to the next line.
